How do you remove it? I need to put on some new plug wires and plugs. Can't seem to find any obvious fastener and when I pull and push on the cover I'm afraid it will break. Someone must know the secret to this.
 


all you do is pull straight up on it. there are no clips just little posts that stick up. you will see how easy it is once you pull it off.
 
Thanks guys, I figured it couldn't be that difficult, but didn't want to break the thing.

Appreciate the guidance.
 
haha i wouldnt change your plugs and wires till you are around 100k miles, i did mine at around 40k and it just dont fell as good because the ones that are factory are awsome plugs and rated for 100k says the service guy.

I know this thread is old as hell but what kind of plugs did you put in and what kind were in there. Seems like I remember seeing something about some spark plugs being able to generate a dyno measurable gain along with a little bit of fuel savings.
 


couldnt even tell you, they were $1 a piece and the ones that were in it was ac delco......im going back for a factory tune up because ive regreted puttin those since I did it.
 
I would be interested to see what different kinds of spark plugs would provide us the best performance.
